In need of help with my rent. I am currently unemployed. Lost my job last week friday. My last check was only enough to pay my wifi bill to keep in contact. I have no phone to call places because my bill was too high for me to be able to pay. I barely have enough food to last me for a week. I need help and im stressing and worried. If you can get back to me through email, or let me know if its easier for me to go in, please let me know. I need all the help I can get. Thank you.

I also need help and I have been calling 4 weeks in a row but the phone hangs up after a hour or so. I know you guys and ladies are overwhelmed so I'll just keep trying because I'm about to be evicted at the end of the month. No work and my disability isn't enough to cover the rent. I'm a month behind and no one is hiring. I really need help.

I have been calling every monday for 2 months, starting at 7:59 am. As SOON as your phone lines are open, they are busy and I get message saying your all full for the week by 8:30, busy signal the whole 30 mins I'm calling. This is so disconcerting and unacceptable. I have an eviction notice and I applied over 2 months ago, I would be homeless if not for the moratorium on rent.

This service is not to help you with a cable bill. You better get an antenna and watch regular TV And as far as help buying a used car because your wife is sick? Come on hospitals and ACCCHS provide free transportation. There are people who really need help and y'all tryna get help that is not needed. SMH

I have an appointment scheduled for Friday, but can't access the questionnaire, because the system is not letting me in. I've called for the past two days, holding for 2 hours each time. The first time, I was the ninth caller, so I understand the wait, but today I was the third caller, missed my doctor's appointment, which was a video call. You don't have a technical support team? Why would instruct someone to sign into a system that they have no access too.
